Fully agree. We're back the same meta around this time a year ago?

Gemini 3.1 is the only model I trust for vision tasks now. 5.4 extra high is crushing the bugs but anthropic just picked up one of openai's top RL researchers from their military fiasco, I think I'm bullish for Claude 4.7-code

Max Caldwell @growth.wtf · 05/03/2026
Yeah it seems like some of 5.4 is just catching up on some of the nice Claude model ux. Not the worst thing, I'm not like feeling super hyped though yet?

I think they were hoping to Claude code a solution but we see how that worked out

Okay well the OpenAI CMO is hopping on now and it is obvious that Anthropic hurt them and they were deeply unprepared

It remains disconcerting to me that Stalin's cult of personality has outlasted Lenin's, largely on the basis of Stalinism as murder cult.

In 2020, I listened a lot to the podcast fall of civilizations. I'd recommend it. It gives a great historical perspective for how long it takes things to end.

This is actually a warning sign for the Democrats because of the huge opportunity Republicans have to change everything about how they are and the things they believe. They just need to completely flip their whole deal and get the president on board before midterms. This is bad news for Dems

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

There’s just zero excuse for any Democrat to not support Abolish ICE at this point when even Republicans are laying the groundwork to throw the entire agency under the bus. It needs to be a litmus test in every single primary race this year, I don’t care if it’s a red district or not.

I agree, the quant naming scheme is soooo confusing! The charts and tables on this PR can be a helpful guide for understanding but are from a specific model and shouldn't be considered universal at all: github.com/ggml-org/lla...

k-quants by ikawrakow · Pull Request #1684 · ggml-org/llama.cpp
What This PR adds a series of 2-6 bit quantization methods, along with quantization mixes, as proposed in #1240 and #1256. Scalar, AVX2, ARM_NEON, and CUDA implementations are provided. Why This is...
